Karen Leeder's latest translation of Durs Grünbein covers a selection of 8 poetry collections and a short essay. Over a decade of work in a volume showcasing the best work of one of the most important living poets in Europe today
Durs Grünbein, Psyche Running Selected Poems 2005-2022 (Calcutta and London: Seagull Books, 2024).
‘Rendered in spikily musical tones by Leeder, Grünbein’s latest is full of difficult consolations and a sighing sort of absurdity. … These eloquent, angular poems are rich in thoughtful noticing and a refreshingly idiosyncratic unpacking of history, geography and myth’
